On-stage with Bryn Terfel
We’re thrilled to announce the highly anticipated arrival of Welsh operatic star Bryn Terfel. Rehearsals have been heating up for this Gala Concert of the year – tonight in Wellington and tomorrow in Auckland. Come and witness a singer performing at the height of his vocal powers. “He can roar – with pain, with pleasure, with fierce indignation, filling the hall with full, strong tone.” The New York Times.
